BEAUTY OF CoMPLExIoN = Wines and
liquors of all kinds are to be severely let
alone, advises W. Pitt Mayer, in pointing
out how to acquire or preserve beautiful
complexion. There can be nothing more
detrimental to the tint than this fluid fire
that fills the blood with heat and drives its
impurities to the surface, producing that
copper complexion so commonly seen in
the ladies who visit Wiesbaden, Carlsbad,
Ems and other European watering places.
No additions of sugar or other sweetening
substances have the slightest effect in allay-
ing this pernicious property in wine Fur
thermore, excessive quantities of heated
drinks, such as chocolate, coffee and tea.
produce the same effect, according to Mr..
Mayer. Tea both weakens the digestive
organs and produces congestions in the
face. If the tea is strong, its acidity soon
indicates itself on the skin of the imbiber.
If too weak, it is simply so much warm
water acting on the stomach, when that or
gan is occupied with the preparation of
food for absorption. The complexion may
not be ruined Immediately by tea, but
sooner or later this will follow.

CALIFORNIA * OREGON RAILROAD.
Construe tion Work of the Heaviest Grade
on the Southern Pacific System

Daily the unspanned gap Of twenty miles
of the uniting California and Oregon line of
railroad is being lessened The force of
men at work is as large as may well be en-
ploycd. but such is the character of the
work that, by the closest estimate, not be-
fore the 1st of October next will the union
by rail of the two great Pacific States be
complete.
The surveying of the link of road re-
manning was long ago finished. The route
is through country mountainous, rugged
and steep, and dense forests Of pine and
spruce cover the mountain sides. The road
is completed, going north, to Lower Coles
Station, just quarter of mile from not
only the boundary of Siskiyou county, but
of California and Oregon. Ashland twen-
ty miles north, over the intervening Siski-
you range, is the point to which the south
bound road is finished. Between and
above these points the mountain range

sinking from the end of our south
drift, in the hope that they would
be able to make the connection in time to
rescue the men alive. OF course we will
get in there, but their chance OF recovery
lies in keeping the air-pipes, which are
conveying air to them down the Bonner
shaft of the Gould & Curry, intact. 1t
might be supposed by some that the effect
be to shut off the air from
the men in the 1860 drift of the Curry.
On the contrary, its effect will be to shut
off the air from the fire, thereby causing 1t
to smolder and allowing possible rescue
OF the men through the shaft. Another
good effect of this bulkhead will be to keep
the fire away from the air-pipes, on the
preservation of which depends the hope OF

A District that Has Been Given Over

ALBUQUERQUE, June 23d. = Beginning
with the murder of police officers Mcguire
and Henry, in this city last winter, a ruth
less double crime for which the law has as
yet found no culprit, an organized system
of horse-stealing and brigandage seems to
be sweeping Bernalillo county. Train
wrecking, horse-stealing and Jail breaking
are leading events in startling series of
outrages. A gang of juvenile gallows-birds
are known to have their rendezvous, where
they drank fiery liquors and read the lives
of Billy, the Kid and Jesse James, and
plotted $4,000 robberies. During all this
but few arrests have been made, and most
of them have escaped Jail. The citizens,
deeming that the condition of things re-
quire heroic remedy, quietly got together
last night and organized Vigilante Com
mittee, with the avowed intention of put
ting an end to outlawry in this county.
The committee is composed of determined
men, and something startling may be ex-
pected in the near future.

MARYsvILLE, June 2ith.-An Associated
Press telegram from Washington, June Sth,
quoted Captain Clarence E. Dutton, Z. S.
A, Chief of the Bureau of Volcanic Geol-
ogy, as saying that two years ago he visited
an extinct volcano in Northern California
which was so recent that some of the trees
killed by the heat had not entirely rotted
away. In reply to request from the editor
of the Appeal for particulars, Captain Dut-
ton writes 4 long and interesting letter
from Washington, of which the following
are extracts
This volcano, so far as | know, has
never received any distinctive name. 1t is
situated on the border of Feather Lake,
| about eleven or twelve miles northeast of
Lassen. Peak One of the old emigrant
| roads passes its base, and leads westward
| across Hat Creek Divide, Immediately north
of Lassen's, and descends TO Deer Flat.
Thence, branching, one road leads through

tions, of which the latter one must have
been quite recent. 1t was stated some time

in 1851, but this is probably an error, as /
have seen and conversed with persons who

THE GRAPE CROP.
Light Yield Expected-The Condition in
Placer County.

Placer County.
lCopylga 1857, by he California associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 24th-A report of
the condition and appearance of the vine
yards of Placer county has been sent to
John II. Wheeler, of the State Viticultural
Commission, by G. Bornelli At Lincoln.
Auburn and Penryn the Zinfandel vines
suffered so badly from recent frost that not
more than half as much wine will be Oh
tanned from the first crop as usual. Ii is
hoped, however, that the second Weld will
cover two-thirds Of the deficiency. The
Mission grape, from which white wine is
made for sophisiication with other yarie-
ties, such as the Chasselas, is in some local
tiles totally destroyed, and in other places
very poor. Muscat vines were injured
somewhat in low lands, but not TO any
great extent. Those vines which were
pruned after the frost are looking especially
fine
Mr.. Wheeler states that the latest reports
from different sections of the State indicate
a considerable falling off in the crop OF
grapes, caused by the irregular formation
of punches and berries, produced by the
intemperate weather of the season.
